Has Sturridge ever scored against City btw?

I'm sure I'm missing an obvious one

[Dr. Beaker]

Stoke just equalised.

2-2 draw away. Dzeko was down moaning injured. Aguero scored from a ridiculous angle and Gerrard equalised.

[JackWard33]

I think our current CBs, especially Klavan, actually prefer big static strikers like Crouch, and I think they will have their hands full with Aguero. The key part will be prevent the feeding of Aguero by pressing their attacking midfielders.

Honestly our center backs are decent but the weakest part of the team without Matip (plus keeper) - although their attackers can score against anyone. Really it's about how often they get posession in our final third. If our midfield and fullbacks play well we'll stop the problems at source

[J-Mc-]

Aguero will get a goal tonight, we just can't seem to keep the little fucker quiet.

It's going to be a game of you score one and we'll score more tonight, expecting a big scoreline.

4-3 liverpool.

Cant remember him ever doing anything at Anfield!

Pretty much exactly this. For all the talk about Stoke's start, they only got a goal because we got lax after five minutes (knowing we were better so easing off the gas) and then allowing them yhe ball too easily
We let them out in about four crosses unchallenged until we were punished. Can't do that today

Wasn't that goal from near enough the byline at Anfield? Or was that at their ground?

[gatcliffe]

Nope never scored at Anfield only scored 4 in total against us.

ehh not really, they pushed up on us and we couldnt deal with it, then they ran out of steam and we relaxed and started to play

Whos cares, the last time scored we got 4 so I'll take that result again

[classycarra]

I agree with that, you aren't contradicting me. They pushed up and we allowed them to put in too many crosses. I said to my dad after the second one that they're about to score one if we allow another cross. Klopp seemed to agree after too

[Dr. Beaker]

Stoke re-equalise.

[jimbo1962]

That was one of his first for us and made you think this guy is good at knocking it into the net

[Warks Moustache]

Stoke re-equalise.

Thanks to top red Crouchy! Seriously excited/nervous for this game if Chelsea drop points

Edit: Fuck Willian

[88_RED]

Nope never scored at Anfield only scored 4 in total against us.

Lovely.. so a brace tonight then.. 

[sms1986]

Not too long to go now!

[Funky_Gibbons]

Looks like Lallana in the front three?

Can, Henderson and Wijnaldum in midfield.

[martinsquirtle]

We got stranger things girl on our side, nailed on win

[gatcliffe]

Lovely.. so a brace tonight then.. 

Maybe we will still out score them though !

[Samie]

[thisyearisouryear]

Can instead of Origi.

[sms1986]

[J-Mc-]

Lfc v City:  Mignolet, Clyne, Klavan, Lovren, Milner, Can, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Mane, Firmino, Lallana.

[redalways]

ooooh no Origi

[pyroparty]

Seems a bit odd but Klopp is a big game machine so no doubt it'll work!

[JackWard33]

Wow that's surprising

Lallana or Wijnaldam in the front 3?

Not that surprising he wants Firmino as the 9 for this - just surprising Origi doesn't start

[Zlen]

That lineup is filthy dirty sexy dirty filth.

[SerbianScouser]

Can is picked to compete with Yaya imo.

[sms1986]

ooooh no Origi

He's on the bench, or do you mean not starting?

[Ray K]

Don't worry lads,  big Divvy will come off the bench and get the insurance goal in a 3-1 win.

[Caston]

Origi has a slight knock

[martinsquirtle]

That line up is all about that press

[Nick110581]

Surprised with that but makes sense in a way.

[The Final Third]

CITY XI | Bravo, Zabaleta (C), Stones, Otamendi, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Yaya Toure, Sterling, Silva, De Bruyne, Aguero

[pyroparty]

Bravo, Zabaleta (C), Stones, Otamendi, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Yaya Toure, Sterling, Silva, De Bruyne, Aguero

Hope we've got enough attacking power because that defence and midfield is woeful. (Citys that is)

[JackWard33]

Seems a bit odd but Klopp is a big game machine so no doubt it'll work!

It's not odd it's just a little surprising
It makes perfect sense he wants all the pressers playing and Firmino leading it to stop City controlling the game

[sms1986]

Origi has a slight knock

Where is that from? Can't worry too much about it if true if he's on the bench.

[Upinsmoke]

Bobby down the middle, press the fuck out them!!!!

On my way the match now, nervous but excited at what is to come!

[JackWard33]

Their back for is so so slow - we're gonna do bad things to them
